Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for collimated optical fibers.
  • the invention is intended for the field of devices for the longitudinal connection, according to an end-to-end connection, of two optical fibers, protected in ferrules, or "ferrules", said connection ensuring the continuity of the signal between said fibers.
  • the invention is adaptable to a single-channel connector as to a multi-channel connector.
  • the invention and more particularly adapted embodiment of a contact by an end-to-end junction or "butt jouite" between two optical fibers.
  • the document EP 1 026 527 discloses a fiber-fiber type connector having a sliding sleeve for accessing the end of the fiber in the female portion of the connector for cleaning said end.
  • fiber optic connectors are illustrated in the following documents: WO 2011/014264 , WO2012 / 0066127 and US 2013/0044978 .
  • the connector object of the invention uses a lens at the output of each fiber in order to widen the beam by collimating it, that is to say by creating a ray beam parallel to the axis of the fiber.
  • a connection via a collimated contact is more tolerant with respect to the relative axial positioning of the contacts and any dirt present on the ends of said contacts.
  • such a connection simply because of the presence of the lenses, has a higher insertion loss than fiber-to-fiber contact, said insertion loss usually being able to reach 1.5 dB against 0.3 dB in the case of fiber-to-fiber contact. This loss of insertion increases further in case of contamination of the lenses and especially in the presence of a relative positioning defect, lateral or angular optical fibers.
  • the aim of the invention is to ensure a minimum insertion loss between two optical fibers connected by collimated contacts and for this purpose concerns an optical fiber connector according to claim 1.
  • the invention is remarkable in that the receiving well (120) comprises the characteristic of a spring applying to said pin an axial sliding force relative to the receiving well between an axial position, said free, of said pin where the lens is flush with the front face of the body, and an axial position, said engaged, where the lens is retracted into the guide sleeve, a distance equal to or greater than a diameter of the pin while remaining centered in said guide bush on a length equal to or greater than a diameter of the spindle.
  • the action of the spring on the pin of the female part of the connector allows to obtain a flush position of the lens to allow easy cleaning thereof.
  • the guide sleeve is fixed axially in the body of the female part. This variant protects the guide sleeve against degradation when the connector is open.
  • the axial end of the guide bushing is recessed axially with respect to the front face of the female part, and advantageously, the insertion well comprises a chamfer in the body of the part. female in front of the end of the guide sleeve. Said chamfer makes it easier to center the spindle of the male part in the female part when coupling the connector.
  • the female pin of the connector which is the subject of the invention comprises: d. a cage for holding the guide sleeve.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to make the relative centering of the male pin and the female pin independent of the body of the connector.
  • the male part of the connector object of the invention comprises a guide well
  • the connector comprises, according to this embodiment: bi. a spring applying on said male pin an axial sliding force relative to the guide well between an axial position, said free, where said pin protrudes relative to the front face of the male part by a distance greater than a diameter of the spindle, and a so-called engaged position, where the male part is connected to the female part of the connector, the male pin enters the guide sleeve by a distance equal to or greater than a diameter of said spindle.
  • the combined action of the two springs ensures optimal relative axial positioning of the two pins when the male and female parts of the connector are assembled, independently of the relative axial positioning of the two parts.
  • the springs acting on the pins of the male and female parts are likewise stiff. This embodiment using essentially the same elements for the male and female parts is more economical.
  • the spring acting on the pin of the male part is of greater stiffness than the spring acting on the pin of the female part.
  • the lenses of the pins of the male part and of the female part are recessed axially with respect to the end of said pins.
  • This arrangement protects the lenses from scratching, especially when the pins are in axial contact with the guide sleeve.
  • the slightly protruding part of the end of the spindle with respect to the lens also co-operates with the input chamfer of the female part, when it is provided with it, to promote the radial centering of the spindle of the male part in the guide sleeve, this without risk of degrading the surface of the lens.
  • the ends of the pins of the male part and the female part are terminated by flat portholes.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to obtain even greater protection for the ends of the pins, more particularly the lenses.
  • the disadvantages of the presence of these portholes on the insertion loss are minimized by the ability to clean the ends of the contacts and the precise relative axial positioning of the two ends.

  • the lens is sealed with the fiber, the ferrule and the body, for example by gluing.
  • a helical compression spring (170) applies an axial thrust on the bolt by means of a pusher (171) which limits the axial stroke thereof so that in the free state, such as shown, the end of the lens is flush with the front face (111) of the body and the guide sleeve according to this embodiment.
  • the lens (160) is easily accessible in this position to clean the surface.
  • the spring (170) is stopped at its other end on a sealed penetration (190) fixed to the connector body and comprising sealing means (191) allowing axial sliding of the cable containing the optical fiber through said bushing (190). waterproof.

  • the male pin (402) is axially fixed relative to the body of the male portion, and the guide sleeve (430) is bonded to the female pin (401).
